GOING: G

Prior Bus Service Hcp (C2) 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Mostly Cloudy   Rail: True.  

That's The Ticket from wide out should burn across and take it up. He has mixes form this time in but on the positive side won two from four including at Sapphire Coast most recently. This looks a suitable progression and Brodie Loy remaining aboard is a positive lead. ANNIE PRU led before condition gave out late at Gundagai. Strips fitter second-up and will give a sight. A SNIP OF CYNDY will have admirers racing fresh. Without a great deal of pace drawn inside, THAT'S THE TICKET will cross and lead. Made it two wins from his last three runs when he led all the way to score by a big margin over 1200m at Sapphire Coast recently. Yet to race beyond six furlongs but has been very strong through the line of late and is now at the peak of his fitness. ANNIE PRU was ridden in front last start in a change of tactics, and battled on well to hold down 2nd spot over 1180m at Gundagai. That was her first outing in four months so will be better for the run and drops sharply in the weights against tougher opposition. MANDALONG JENNY raced up on the speed but struggled to run out a strong 1400m on heavy ground last start at Sapphire Coast. Better placed back to this trip. A SNIP OF CYNDY is one to consider first up from a six-month break. SUGGESTED PLAY: That's The Ticket to win again.

Second-up 3rd in a small field at Sapphire Coast Hcp (C2) Jun 11 over 1200m, on heavy track; 8 len behind That's The Ticket with 54kg. Needs to find several lengths to threaten.

Second-up today. Fresh up after four months set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 starters at Gundagai F&M (Bm55) Jun 8 over 1180m, slow track; 3/4 len behind Under The Eaves carrying 58kg. Previously second-up hampered early stages; raced on the pace before fading to run last at Sapphire Coast (Bm55) in Feb over 900m, 7-1/2 len behind Turbo Charger with 53kg. Looks the biggest threat to the favourite.
